Manjaro Linux Ansible Provision

This repo is deprecated as my configuration repo. And I have migrated to a simple shell script approach. GitHub - wickes1/Dotfiles

Why I don't continue this approach?

My initial thought is to utilize Ansible for my any devices, any new OS installation, and any new VMs so that I can have a consistent environment. But I found that it's too much overhead for my personal use. You won't have a lot of new devices to manage. What's more, the configuration was kept deprecating, that adding more overhead to maintain the configuration.

However, I mostly used Ansible as my dotfiles manager. So what's important is not the app installation, but the dotfiles. (For personal usage) So I migrate to a simple shell script approach. GitHub - wickes1/Dotfiles
